Why there is a Texture mismatch between Maya & UE5

MamdouhFahmy · May 14 2026

Hello everyone , I have made a broken wall in maya using a brick texture and set the tiling inside maya to 1.8 in both U and V , went to unreal and done the same setup with texcoord also tile 1.8 and there was a mismatch in the tiling that is most noticeable on the individual brick models on top of the wall , if anyone knows an answer to this i would really appreciate it been stuck at it for sometime now .

When you export you don't export 'texture tiling' settings, you export UVs. So, you shouldn't need any coordinate adjustment in Unreal if you've got it looking right in Maya.

I got it looking right in maya after the texture was tiled to 1.8 because the bricks were too big ! also same thing for custom made bricks to scatter on the wall , so shouldn't I apply same tiling to the texture when am inside unreal ? sry i may did not understand you correctly ! i did also try to leave tiling at 1 but same result ,
one more thing i dunno if it helps but uvs were set to 10.24 texel density for 2k map .

I'm a little confused about where these settings are coming from. Where are you setting the tiling? - if its in your maya material, then the export to unreal doesn't know anything about it. I've used Maya for a very long time but I'm a bit of a luddite with it and may have missed newer plugins or workflows.

you can scale the UVs going into a maya texture node and indeed that data will not be passed through when the model is exported.
in principle, if you apply the same transform to UVs plugged into a texture sampler in unreal it should give you the same result -
if there's a difference it could be a few things
- the texture isn't power of 2 dimensions and unreal is padding or stretching it
- the transform is being applied in the wrong place in the unreal material

probably best to show the two material graphs and the texture file in both bits of software really
